Switzerland, train Zurich<-->Winterthur, no N900 in the Wild but yesterday they were 4 people which were looking at me (iPhone-, Droid/Milestone-, "some old thing from Sony Ericsson"- and "a Nokia 6131 or something like that"-User) while surfing on maemo.org xD

just had a horror story last night. while taking photos of the olympic flame, someone bumped into me and hands r cold n so on, my baby took a pummel to the concrete floor from head height!! i don't exactly remember the fall entirely since i panicked n my brained worked to keep unhappy memories out of my head. but from what i remember the fall wasn't that hard. probably hit my leg which broke the fall a bit n slided couple feet horizontally. lucky i had invisible shield on and a few scratches stand. phew. thats the only battle damage i've found so far

at first i thought the camera was screwed bcoz every pic i took afterwards was yellowish and too bright. then when i'm done panicking i realized it was the dust kicked up during the fall. took out my nokia cloth, wiped it and fine again.
You gotta be more careful with your baby
Nice to hear there is not a lot damage .
I took some pictures of the Olympic flame on the fist day of opening, Now everytime I want to take a picture, I have to be cautious after hearing your story . I have just installed the clarivue on my n900 since I don't like the feel of invisible sheild and I don't want anything to get in contact while "touching" my n900 looolz

Got mine here in Beijing, and never seen one in the wild. Loads of N97 (I think the price of the Mini one got slashed on the gray market here). But I know that as soon as I ll step in Hong Kong, I ll see some all 'round. Those people spoil my fun, and I m sure that even grandmas could get one someday ^^
It s actually quite fun to see how people hanging around are proud of their phone I am usually misunderstood in that regard, or people seem interested, then shy away when they hear about the price tag

have had the n900 just over 3 weeks now. i'm all the way in asia, singapore to be exact. don't think there are too many n900 users in my part of the world. it's not released in the local market, any n900 users get theirs via export sets.

still get questions and stares when i use the phone at university or in public. i like having a device that's not an iphone or nexus one, having an uncommon device.

i used to have trouble with my IM accounts draining battery, i've since gotten used to using my IM accounts only when needed, this allows me 24hrs of use and less worry on finding a charging outlet every few hours.

plus, the slide out qwerty keyboard always stumps the n97/mini users who are always trying to figure out what sort of a n97 variant i'm using

I'm from sydney as well. Actually, we are two of us living in Artarmon (North Shore Line) and have never come across anyone yet using one.

I have been using my phone for about a month now here in New Delhi, India. Got it through a friend from the U.S. as it's not yet released here.

Just today I came across another friend of mine here who has an N900... He got it through a friend in the U.K.
